Clients dealing with trauma aren’t always receptive to the therapeutic process.

It’s painful for clients and clinician alike, and it doesn’t feel like healing.

You’ll learn:

How EMDR can be used to overcome avoidance in clients
How EMDR techniques can help clients resolve traumatic memories
When and with which clients EMDR should be used
How to emphasize safety during sessions
